Emotions and Speech: Some Acoustical Correlates

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1972
This paper describes some further attempts to identify and measure those parameters in the speech signal that reflect the emotional state of a speaker. High-quality recordings were obtained of professional “method” actors reading the dialogue of a short scenario specifically written to contain various emotional situations.

Acoustical Analysis of Speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1958
The objectives of acoustical analyses of speech are generally to obtain economical descriptions of the important characteristics of speech sounds, together with the distributions of these characteristics. The relevant acoustical properties cannot be determined and quantified easily without reference to data on the processes of speech production and ...

Speech versus non-speech as irrelevant sound: Controlling acoustic variation

Biological Psychology, 2010
Functional differences between speech and non-speech within the irrelevant sound effect were investigated using repeated and changing formats of irrelevant sounds in the form of intelligible words and unintelligible signal correlated noise (SCN) versions of the words.

Psycho-acoustics and Speech Perception

1999
Computational models of speech pattern processing might be able to benefit a lot from sound and speech perception by humans. Psycho-acoustics has given us insight into the limits and the capabilities of peripheral hearing for, mainly, simple stationary sounds.

Acoustic context effects in speech perception

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2019
AbstractThe extreme acoustic variability of speech is well established, which makes the proficiency of human speech perception all the more impressive. Speech perception, like perception in any modality, is relative to context, and this provides a means to normalize the acoustic variability in the speech signal.

Acoustical Manifestations of Emotional Speech

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1970
High-quality tape recordings were obtained of professional method actors reading the dialogue of a short scenario especially written for determining those parameters in the speech signal that reflect a speaker's emotions. Excerpts from the recordings were subjected to both quantitative and qualitative analyses.

Acoustic Theories of Speech Perception

2023
Acoustic theories assume that speech perception begins with an acoustic signal transformed by auditory processing. In classical acoustic theory, this assumption entails perceptual primitives that are akin to those identified in the spectral analyses of speech.

Physiologie Acoustic Basis of Speech Perception

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1985
In the past, there has been a distinction between extraction of the auditory parameters of speech and a specialized phonetic speech processor. It was suggested that for the latter, exclusive specialized processing is required by the dominant hemisphere, while the former was handled by the general auditory system shared by both hemispheres.

Room Acoustics and Speech Perception

Seminars in Hearing, 2004
The acoustic speech signal received by a listener is a function of the source, distance, early reverberation, late reverberation, and noise. Specifically, it depends on the Speech Audibility Index, which is defined, here, as the proportion of the combined direct speech and early reverberation (also known as early reflections) whose level is above that ...
